Plot
A quartet of teenage girls spends the night in an old house. On the night of their arrival, a strange man named Gideon Fisk arrives at the house, delivering an old book. Once he is gone, the girls examine the book, finding it full of sketches of bizarre monsters.
When an incantation in the book is read, one of the drawings emerges from the book and becomes a living cartoon who takes the form of Roxanne, one of the girls, after killing her. The monster begins murdering two of the girls, but not before doing the same to Roxanne's arriving boyfriend, Biff, and the girls' superior, Burt. Gideon returns to vanquish the monster and the only surviving girl, Megan, throws the book into the fireplace, incinerating it and erasing the monster from existence. As Gideon departs and the monster's victims are revived the next morning, Megan screams in terror when the neighbor, Mr. Hinchlow, stops by and brings his portable television set so that the girls can watch Saturday-morning cartoons.
